Grant

Award

Timing

All pediatricians are eligible to apply regardless of
employment setting or retirement status.

Outreach must be to the community at large, not to practice or
clinic patients only.

All initiatives should incorporate screening for or connecting
children to medical homes and available insurance programs.

Purpose:

Up to $12,000 will be awarded on a competitive basis to individual
pediatricians and fellowship trainees to
plan innovative community-based child health
initiatives that will ensure all children have medical homes and
access to health care services not otherwise available in their
community. Priority is given to projects that will be serving
communities with the greatest health disparities.

Additional Info:

The next Call for Proposals opens May 1, 2014; Submissions
will be due July 31, 2014.
